"The Left's Long Game in Latin America," Benjamin Braddock, The American Mind, February 12, 2026. 

ANDREW BRANCA: 23% of all Mexicans on the planet live in America.

"We have 90 million illegal migrants in the country," and it's like, "You're crazy, Andrew."  It's like 20 million or 30 million, but every time I see a data point or experience illegal migrants or legal migrants in the real world, it only suggests to me that my estimate is low.  

Did you know that a 1/3 of all El Salvadorans on the planet are living in the US.  A third of them!  A third of them!  It's unbelievable!  A third of them!  

13% of all Moroccans live in Europe.  This is the nature of the invasion, and it's not because they're terrified of Morocco.  95% of them go back to visit.  61% of them make annual visits.  They go back every year on vacation to visit family.  These are not people seeking asylum from Morocco.  

Did you know that 23% of all Mexicans, now this is a big number, the El Salvadorians is only 8 million El Salvadorans, a third of them living in America, it is wrong, of course, but it's nothing like this scale.  

Almost a quarter of all Mexicans on the planet live in America.  40 million of them?  That's unbelievable!  In 1960, there were only 4 million Mexicans in America.  And not only do we have to compete with them for every scarce American resource, but more than half of them, more than half of households, headed by immigrants, and this includes legal immigrants, naturalized citizens, legal residents, illegal migrants, more than half of them use one or more welfare program.  Why!  You know, if you just understand everything that's happening to America, everything that's happening to America, everything from the immigration, legal and illegal, to tariffs, to Democrat Economic Policy, hiring policy, all of it, NGOs, you just have to understand that all of these things can be simply understood as the looting, the piracy of American resources.  That's what all this is.  It's the looting of America.  It's the looting of you and me, the net taxpayers, the small minority of us that are net taxpayers in America.  We're being looted everyday by everybody!  By everybody!  Our own indigenous 3rd world peoples, the legal migrants, we allow in to loot us of jobs and housing.  The illegal migrants who invade and loot us and send billions in remittances out of our country to foreign nations, why do we allow a dollar of our money to leave this country . . . to be spent elsewhere?  All the NGOs, the USAIDs, it's all looting.  All these college students, this is just another form of looting.  All these loans we give away like it's water, that's just more thievery from the American taxpayer.  It's horrific.  

SAMA HOOLE: Apple cider vinegar will balance your blood sugar, aid digestion, help weight loss, cure acid reflux. You're drinking vinegar. It's acidic, which doesn't cure acid reflux, it causes it. The acid erodes tooth enamel with repeated use. Undiluted, it can burn your esophagus.

Apple cider vinegar will balance your blood sugar, aid digestion, help weight loss, cure acid reflux. You're drinking vinegar. It's acidic, which doesn't cure acid reflux, it causes it. The acid erodes tooth enamel with repeated use. Undiluted, it can burn your esophagus. The blood sugar effect is marginal. The digestion aid is irritating your stomach lining. The weight loss is from nausea reducing appetite and dental damage making eating painful. The "mother" in unfiltered ACV is supposed to provide probiotics. It's bacterial culture that mostly dies in stomach acid. You're paying extra for cloudy vinegar with negligible bacterial benefits and very real enamel erosion. Regular vinegar would accomplish the same questionable outcomes for half the price with equal dental destruction. Vinegar is a condiment. It's good on chips. It's less good as a health tonic consumed straight, especially when it's literally dissolving your teeth. Your great-grandmother used it for cleaning, not drinking. The reversal from household cleaner to wellness product is impressive marketing evolution. The chemistry didn't change. The positioning did. The tooth enamel erosion is free bonus content.

J. B. HANDLEY: Also, the 2019 measles outbreak in Vancouver/Portland was fake. They made it up in order to change Washington's law. I know because when I was writing SQL queries on the sentinel database,

J. B. Handley Substack article, "Whistleblower: Measles Outbreak Faked by PNW Health Officials in 2019," J. B. Handley, February 12, 2025, is behind a paywall.

🔥Whistleblower report: measles outbreaks are faked by the state health departments in CA, WA and OR (link in comments):

“I was a fiscal analyst for the Immunization programs division of the Oregon Health Authority working on floor 4 of the Portland State Office Building under Mimi Luther....you should query the vaccine adverse reaction data in a public records request from a system called Alert IIS. Also, the 2019 measles outbreak in Vancouver/Portland was fake. They made it up in order to change Washington's law. I know because when I was writing SQL queries on the sentinel database, I tried testing it against that database and nothing came up, so I asked Rex Larsen why that was and he froze. I got into the IMM drive (that's what you should ask for) and found memos that they were contracting with a P/R firm to promote the fake outbreak in order to pass the bill. The way OHA does the dirty work is by instructing medicaid COO's to make "grants" that will be outside the public records law. Also, this is all on background. Oregon has a journalist shield law and I consider substack journalism. I've never told anybody this stuff before."

The article,

CLARK COUNTY, Washington—Remember California’s State Senator Richard Pan? In 2015, he took the Disneyland measles outbreak and used it to jam through legislation denying California’s parents any exemptions from vaccines for their kids to attend school. Other states took notice: hype up an outbreak, misrepresent the risks and scare legislators, push through draconian vaccine rules.

You may not remember the measles outbreak here in Portland (and southwest Washington, the state border is only 15 miles away) back in 2019, but it was worldwide news. In fact, Washington’s Governor Jay Inslee declared a “state of emergency” and brought in the military.

You can imagine my surprise, therefore, with a recent message I received, sent to me on the Substack platform, that stated the following:

Here’s the text:

I was able to verify that the person who sent me this most definitely worked for the Oregon Health Authority.

Seems outrageous. Imagine if it’s true. If only we had someone running HHS who would be interested in getting to the bottom of this…

cow's rumen is a 40-gallon fermentation chamber containing billions of bacteria, protozoa, and fungi.

These microorganisms perform chemical reactions that modern laboratories cannot replicate at scale: - Breaking down cellulose (plant cell walls that humans cannot digest) into volatile fatty acids that the cow absorbs for energy - Synthesizing all essential amino acids from nitrogen in the grass: turning plant protein into complete animal protein with perfect amino acid ratios - Producing B vitamins (including B12, which doesn't exist in plants) - Converting beta-carotene to retinol (true vitamin A) - Creating conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with anti-cancer properties This is a living chemical factory. Powered entirely by grass and water. Operating temperature: 39°C, maintained naturally. No external energy input. No rare elements required. No toxic waste produced. We have spent billions trying to replicate this in laboratories with lab-grown meat. We still can't do it. We can't even come close. But lab-grown meat is the "future" of food. While we eliminate the biological system that has worked perfectly for 10,000 years. The hubris is stunning.
